Abstract

We study the viscosity solutions of integro-differential Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations of degenerate parabolic type. These equations are from the pricing problem for the European passport options in a jump-diffusion model. The passport option is a call option on a trading account. We discuss the mathematical model for pricing problem. We prove the comparison principle, uniqueness and convexity preserving for the viscosity solutions of related pricing equations.
